Richard Fullerton ’63 is “still hanging doors and acting. If you really want to see me do the latter, I had a little role on episode five (I THINK it was five, who can tell these days?) of a new Cinemax series called “Banshee.” If you do, tell me how it was, because we don’t get Cinemax… If you want to check out all the doors I’ve hung with the fancy mortise locks and whatnot… well… you need a new hobby.” John M. Hines ’63 said that he and Maria are still dividing their lives between Louisville, Ky., Cashiers, N.C., and Waimarama, New Zealand. He is doing some interim work for the Diocese of Kentucky, playing golf and watching Maria ride horses.

Bayard Breeding ’64 greatly enjoyed being able to drive to Reunion this year. He relayed, “It was great to see so many folks. My trip to Colorado to look at some potential land for purchase was revealing. Great country up there and getting out of the Texas humidity was a plus. Driving through a snow fall in Kebler Pass was a real thriller for sure. I do not want to try that drive in the snow again.” Jim George ’64 reported, “It was a very hot summer here in South Texas.

We get to play music with friends, and there’s a steady stream of visitors in both places. My daughter, Silke, and her family live in Munich, so of course I have to go there several times a year to stay caught up with Silke, Nelan, and my 4-year-old granddaughter, Marley Elizabeth. Fortunately, my son Joaquin still lives in Austin with his wife, Keisha, and son Aldion.”
